Here's how we ran the main line into the house. The tubing is installed up in the floor cavity rather than hanging below the floor joists as the old plumbing was. Hoping this will keep the pipes warmer in the winter. The installation parts were getting expensive, so I just got a few pieces and exper...

Hey all, finally ready for an update. Here are some pics of the new main line. Found a new plastic connector (bottom piece) and 3/4" threaded pex connector (top brass piece) at Lowes. The plastic piece is something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_53802-322-350305_1z10vjn+1z10xvv__?productId=...

Great, I was hoping plywood on it's own would do :) We're also replacing all the plumbing, we had frozen pipes this winter and leaks all over the place, hence all this floor repair. The tub in the master bath, however, has been leaking since long before this winter. So it's in the worst condition, w...

The pics are right where the deck meets the house, but the tank and main line are just under the house. We're getting new skirting this year as well, so it should be all sealed up eventually. I'm also planning to install drain tile pipe around the exposed part of the main line as described in The Ma...

Thanks! I will take the advice to cut it out and take to a plumbing supply store. Probably the easiest way to change out that fitting anyway.

Few questions, 1) Is this my well storage tank? The lid was just sitting on top of the barrel, not attached or sealed in any way and it seems kind of dirty in there. How would I go about cleaning and/or sealing it up, if necessary? 2) Pretty sure the upper gray pipe is polybutylene, same as the rest...

Hey everyone, this is my first post here and first big project this season! I am planning to replace all the waterlines in our double-wide home with PEX pipe. We currently have polybutylene and have had many problems this winter. Here is my plan and some questions. This is my first plumbing project,...
